PAX Pokemon League

I spent a good chunk of yesterday just looking into the new Hyper Training... if it really does up IVs, then so many possibilities become available. It doesn't help that this comes in the wake of me trying to breed a genderless pokemon with few options to IV breed (looking at you my 1-2 IV Ditto army!)

Categorically speaking, ice/steel has some decent resistances, but that's really just what's left over from steel's resistance after subtracting all of ice's weaknesses. Ice has 4 really significant weaknesses, and only resists... ice, which steel already resists.

So I think 'Snowshrew' is cute, but I would have probably been more excited (from a competitive standpoint) about a pure steel 'Rustshrew' or something.

(Not to mention, I love him, but sandshrew/slash's real problem is that they just don't have stellar stats, so I was kinda hoping for a mega evolution to make it a little more viable.)

Still though, [idyx]~adorable~[/idyx]

You never know... It could have Filter or Wonder Guard as a hidden...

I can see it maybe having sturdy.

And ice Ninetails most likely having auto-hail.

And I'm just sitting here looking at all the awesome new Grass and Poison types for re-takes of my gyms in future

A: That Grass....flower mantis looking thing: yeah that's in, easily. The bloom sickle Pokemon....yup.
B: looking for a full evo of that poison fire type lizard thing, that'd be cool (but that bad boy needs a balloon for mercy's sake D:)
C: Grass starter possibly, though mega sceptile puts in the work presently. We'll see what the design's like, a likely addition to the casual team at least.

Saw a few other grass types, but I'll wait until I have more info on usage possibilities and fully evolved designs before I get too excited about other stuff. But so far so good!

Could add a new team building dynamic, to have to choose which one you want before battle. Either you can equip a Mega Stone that'll give you a smaller power boost which lasts the rest of the battle, or a Z-Crystal that unleashes huge attack, but afterwards you go back to normal.
